The fact that it doesn't support streaming media on WMP 10 defies the purpose of this program!

Most Real files are stremed people, so it's pointless to have a codec that can't play streaming content.

Superb software! no more spamming commercials and unwanted RealMedia pop ups! I really like being able to configure which player you want to use.

Keep up the good work!

and users with problems, you must have messed up your codecs or something, or there's been severe bugs in earlier versions of real alternative, since i can't see a single flaw with this product.

Really, not so good. I discovered that in order to play MovieLink downloads I had purchased, I had to update $RealPlayer$, except $Real Player$ was wiped off my system in the install of MPC.

Now I am searching the system for the uninstall program for MPC, so I can reinstall $$$RealPlayer$$$.

So MPC works fine, but the lack of an uninstall, and the inability to mimic $$RealPlayer$$ to MovieLink are definite drawbacks.

I had a question. You see i have K-lite codec package installed and media player classic. But i still cant play the videos i want on it. So i was thinking that maybe Realplayer alt. could help. But what would happen if i installed it and still keeping my K-lite package? I would really appreciate some help!

If you encounter the msg "cannot render the file" when trying to play real media in Media Player Classic, rename the extension of the downloaded file .ram by .smil

Hope this is the right place to post a suggestion. Posted this in relivant areas

I've been using RA, QA MPc and VLC and G-Spot and Audio Identifier for some time now, ever since i came accross them eons ago. With this tools I am able to watch and listen to, I would say 95% of all formats (mainstream).

Is it possible to save a single installer for these items with option to pick and choose? Especially with QA and RA as I have noticed they both duplicate MPc (but in RA MPc is one version behind. VLC is a bonus as is the two codec identifiers.

RA Real Alternative
QA QuickTime Alternative
MPc Media Player Classic
VLC VideoLAN Client

Thanks

Well i like it a lot, it's definetly better than real player but why only mpc?
mpc kinda $uck$, i have to "fight" the pc for hours to get it to work on a level i actualy enjoy.
Is there any way to get it to work for any other player like vlc?

I am not looking for another media player though. I am using a software with its own data base and that software has some media files in .RM (real media) format, but it is configured to play these files using Windows Media Player. The software comes with some updates to install required codecs for WMP to run .RM files. It does not work though. The reason is that i am using win xp with WMP 10 and it is not supported by that software. I know that someone has downloaded a codec to play these files in the same environment, but unfortunately i am not able to contact this person. Can any one help in paying these .rm files on win media player ver 10?

Would greatly appreciate your help.

you can contact me directly at ctax2242@[nospam]aol.com

Thanks.

Love it. How can I get the source code? I would like to learn how to make it work and compile it locally.

It won't stream files, which is a big drawback for me. A few times I would actually have to use RealPlayer to handle those files. It is okay for offline content though, because you can still play them on Windows Media Player or Media Player Classic. Still, this is nowhere as good as how Quicktime Alternative performed.
